The government needs to get rid of public sector procurement frameworks to help SMEs, says Raj Tulsiani, co-founder and chief executive of Green Park Executive Resourcing.

Tulsiani told Recruiter that following last week’s Budget the government needs to do more to help SMEs by looking at ways of freeing up lending from banks and cutting the legislative burden, which stops SMEs from hiring and firing.

He adds that public sector procurement frameworks are preventing the sector from benefiting from the “fleet of foot” approach that SMEs can provide.
